takes this home with him and tells don of his latest discovery chapter xii contd language is an absurdly ambigu ous instrument of communication the doctor meditated completely ig noring dons agitation for ex ample that last sentence of yours on the face of it it might mean that you are indifferent to all else but sheilas welfare and her possible danger or it might mean that you hoped above all things that sheila would not be found naturally 1 assume that the first interpretation is the correct one i dont know what i meant dons hand was flung out in a gesture of angry impatience i dont feel much like entering on a discussion of gram mar oh but it sometimes matters quite a lot quite a lot the doctor mur mured well im not in a mood to choose my words very carefully suppose sheila never shows u simply drops out of sight altogether id still be legally tied to her wouldnt 1 un less a faint gleam of eagerness shone in dons hollow eyes unless i could get a divorce on grounds of de sertion do you think i could no doubt but thats not the par ticular bridge we are crossing at the moment dr cavanaugh ruthlessly pulcd him back well then suppose she came back with all this turmoil theres been in the papers id be in a sweet posi tion then wouldnt 1 things would be as had as before no a hundred times worse because he one thing i put my neck into the noose to secure decency and dignity would be gone what a life his lips twisted in what was almost a grimace i wish id been blind and deaf before i ever met that woman dr cavanaugh listened calmly to this jerky spasmodic outburst his face as expressionless as that of an ver seriously of late as stains on image of buddha he waited without lh tec show her to have been an intcivupiion until don relapsed into excessive smoker of strong cigarette a silence as abrupt as his speech theres still another possibility than a possibility but i wouldnt be too sure if 1 were you that the acti vities of our friends the police as outlined in tonighs paper can be disregarded with an obvious effort at self con trol the young man forced his hands to stop their nervous clenching and unclenching and lie tightly closed in his lap only the involuntary twitch ing f a muscle at the corner of his eyes betrayed an agitation beyond the power of his will to conceal i dont understand what youre driving at he said in a low breath less voice you said the body they found in the marsh couldnt be identi fied you came here not long ago and asked me to help you dr cavanaugh went on as if ellsworth had not spoken lint the positions aro re versed i am now about to ask you to help me i said that the body 1 mentioned was unrecognizable it was except for a tiny patch of scalp without raising its tone the doctors voice took on a new emphasis that body belonged to a woman about forty years of age she patronized an ex pensive beauty parlor where she had recently had what i believe is called a marcel she was in the habit of using black narcisse perfume she was fair of skin with brown eyes and vivid color that accompany this par ticular pigmentation her hair na turally red was darkened to auburn by the use of henna and was worn long in fact rather surprisingly in this day it had never been cut it was thick and luxuriant and she took an extreme pride in it so much for what the microscope tells us from measurements taken of the body itself camberwcll of the iden tification bureau was kind enough to supply me with the figures over the telephone i have not seen it myself we are safe in saying that this wo man of expensive tastes which she was able to gratify and a somewhat overweening consciousness of her per sonal appearance was rather tall five feet seven inches naturally she juld have been of the opulent deep- bosomed tpyc but she kept herself trained down to the fashionable sleu- derness the articulation of the bones particularly of the feet indicate that she was trained in dancing the for mation of the roof of the mouth makes it probable that she was a singer though she had not taken her sinking he said then a cutting of all gor- dian knots i dont say that it is more does all this convey anything to you the face in the chair opposite might have been carved out of ivory- yellow white with burntout coals for chapter xiii with a sinlge movement that was like the spring of a puma don ells worth catapulted from his chair his toe caught in the fringe of a rug he half stumbled but recovered his bal ance blindly hardly noticing the check tc his progtess in another instant he had flung himsel from the room his hat forgotten on the table and the outer door crashed shut propelled by the backward fling of his arm dr cavanaughs hand paused fraction of a second his cigar half way to his lips then the interrup ted movement was completed as dc liberately as it had been begun he had not risen to intercept don and he made no effort now to follow him hm the sound was half a hum half a gentle sigh it was dr ca vanaughs equivalent of half a dozen excited ejaculations he settled his thick shoulders against the pillows of the chaiselongue but there were no more smoke rings instead he drew from his inner pocket a small leather bound notebook propped its lower edge against his arching middle and proceeded to make notations in al most microscopic handwriting first en one then the other of the two pages spread open before him hm he murmured again like a gigantic bumble bee on the one hand we have a young man of un disciplined emotions subject to gusts of rage which he has never been taught to control unused to delay ing his reaction to any impulse caught by the tremendous vitality and charm of the dazzling sheila 0 shay but the attraction evidently soon spent query why did he marry her the query was underlined in the little notebook and further mark ed by a star in the margin corol lary why did she marry him money probably but did she capture him before he had time to get back his emotional balance or had she soma means of forcing him to it not in ferable from present data leave that out confuses the present problem dr cavanaugh accordingly drew a line lightly through the corollary he carefully deposited an inch of white cigar ash in the tray allowing the noteboo kto flop forward then ad justed it nt its former angle in general people will subconsci ously choose words that tell the truth even when it is not the truth they mean at the moment a great little master of the double entendre the subconscious is he mused lets see don did not say that he wanted his wife back he said that he wanted to be rescued from the undesirable publicity aroused by her disappear ance thats quite different his anxiety was not for her but for the effect on himself he resented the interference of mrs kane and of the police he didnt care what we found so long as it wasnt sheila on the other hand dr cavan aughs minute semtchings were now scrawled on the opposite side of the facing pages his own subconscious desire to have his wife out of the way might have a powerfully disturbing effect when that unexpressed wish was suddenly fulfilled there is also his extreme dislike amounting almost to a phobia of publicity by which he feels that he has been victimized the impulse to run away fron an intoler able situation all the more intoler able if it were to involve him in sensational murder case may have become overpowering and so he ran away without even considering the futility of the escape nor its conse quences one thing is certain don ellsworth would not be capable of any carefully devised plot unless we have to do with a person elevsr enough to convey the impression pur posely the whole evidence whal there is to it does not point to premedita tion cither on the part of mrs ells worth if sho actually left of her own will nor of her murderer if she was killed ellsworth might conceivably act with extreme rashness follow an instinctive immediate

fact the lack of understanding of ho milder mental and nervous conditions resulting from sick nervous systems has been passed down from generation to generation and even at this enlight ened age the general ignorance con cerning the prevention and trairnent of such conditions is astonishing most all of this ignorance can not be placed at the door of the laity tor the medical profession as a whole has been rather backward in diagnosing these conditions and supplying the pro per treatment often people who are badly in need of treatment for some mental or nor- vous condition are deprived of this help through the lack of understand ing of their relatives then too versj often an individual suffering from some neurotic condition fearing thai his condition may be much worse tharj it actually is fails to go to a physician for help another attitude taken by many neurotic people is that nervousness is a weakness of character and they suf fer in silence this attitude often leads to serious

disturbance aro the result there is always a cause for ner vousness whether it be tho conditions enumerated above gradually damaging the nerve cells or harmful environ mental factors producing markedly exaggerated emotions fear anger pain jealousy sorrow resentment and emotion of a sexual nature which in turn brings about damage to the nervous tisue this damage no doubt is due to insufficient nourishment ot the nerve cells as a result of the ef fect of the emotions upon the sympa- thetic nervous system and the result ing effect upon the secretions there is a physical basis for alj nervousness and that basis consists of minute changes in the structure oi the nerve cells the extent of tho physical change is in direct propor tion to the severity of the cause whether it be emotional or otherwise often patients come into my hands with nervous systems physiologically exhausted the reserve energy of tho nerve cells has long been used up i the more their reserve is exhausted tho more nervous and restless they become and exaggerated mental and physical activity is the result this condition in turn brings about a moro profound state of exhaustion a weakened
